Taxi Driving Terror Ending Very Soon

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 04/20/2012

I did some snooping and it looks like this Terror tee is no longer in print. Definitely a cool idea but of all the bands who have used this quote on either a shirt or on a recording, the Earth Crisis demo did it best but hey, that’s just my opinion. Still a cool idea and a good look. eyehatecreed has got more stuff up ending soon so check it out.

There Is A War. This Is A Jersey

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 04/14/2012

My buddy Cory sold one of these jerseys recently and I’m expecting pcook60526‘s to fetch somewhere in the same ballpark. I’ve never seen this in this colorway before and I have to say I really like it. Usually it’s the white and red but the blue is a real good look. I wouldn’t suggest actually playing basketball in this though as the print tends to fade with each wash.

No More Dreams Of Summer Touring

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 04/10/2012

It’s a shame that Damnation AD doesn’t tour much anymore. I saw them the first time in the summer of 1996 when they were on tour with Earth Crisis…and I gotta say as pumped as I was to see ExC, Damnation blew them off the stage. They were touring on “Misericordia” and just really took it to ExC that night. Then I saw them again last summer at This Is Hardcore and they were just as good. Mike split his head open during the first song and proceeded to bleed all over the stage. Great set…I own this particular shirt and burningfight‘s version is in much better shape than mine. I kinda miss when bands would print the dates on the back of their tour shirts…I know it’s more of a metal thing but it’s a good look.

Path Of Resistance Brings No Shame

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 04/05/2012

When Victory Records released the Path Of Resistance record, they printed up two shirts for the band and tmeisky82 is letting go of both of them. Both designs were made in short sleeve tees, longsleeves and hoodies as was the standard for the label at the time. The first of the two is my favorite and it’s also in better shape than the other. The designs borrows heavily from the records artwork with the cover of the record on the front of the shirt and the back artwork was the disc art. This was printed in both gray and white and I feel like the gray works best. No Bulldogs here but you get a huge Victory banner down the sleeve.

The second design was the one that Victory held onto for quite some time. The band would later reprint this one with a different front and a slightly altered back. The shirt seems a little faded but it could be the lighting in the photo. Both of these should be dated around 1996-97.

Earth Crisis B-Ball Jersey

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 03/24/2012

One of the few Earth Crisis items I don’t actually own. One of the last to be printed on a Champion jersey. Sure the new brands bands are printing on are comfortable but they aren’t Champions…just saying. The problem with Champions were that after a few washes, the print started to come off. Luckily, xdrugfreepridex‘s isn’t suffering from that same fate. This should have been between “Breed The Killers” and “Slither”. These usually go for quite a bit so I guess we’ll see where it ends up.

90s Poster Noize Of The Mostly Victory Persuasion

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 03/11/2012

xvgunx has pulled some posters down off his wall and is putting them up so someone else can enjoy them. Mostly focusing on the “Big 3″ of the 90s but you do get a Despair poster thrown in as well. He plans to put more up so keep your eyes peeled.

A Pair Of 90s Earth Crisis tees

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 03/08/2012

barfight has a pair of Earth Crisis tees up and the first being the older of the two. This one is probably the second design Victory did for the band in between the releases of “Firestorm” and “Destroy The Machines” around late 1994. The design was later reprinted and reworked as “The Discipline” when DTM was released. I always liked the original one over the redesign. The redesign had this huge paragraph on the back and I just feel like the original works better, especially with this color scheme.

The second was printed for their first Japanese tour in 1996 and like barfight says I’m inclined to agree that the band was the first straight edge band to go over there (Strife being the second later that year). This particular design though I’m almost positive was bought from Victory as the label sold them for a few years after the tour. My favorite part of the shirt though is the sleeve print which you can’t really see in the photo but you can see by clicking here. I know alot of you have allergies to bulldogs but this one is just cool.

Earth Crisis

By jbil | Published 01/30/2012

I dont think I ever saw Earth Crisis duringg this era. They kinda lost me after Destroy the Machines. Destory the Machines era was pretty good. Full on crazy gigs everytime. Plenty of stagediving all around. I can only base the gigs aroud this era on this shirt and it doesnt look good. Navy blue might be Murphys least favorite color but Piss Grey is mine. I have a few pretty cool shirts that happen to be on piss grey and its always a bumout. Also I dont know if its just the pic or what but this looks like its the most ill shirt ever!! If I were I would stay away from this shirt. I dont even know if ChipXsem would get down with this. Sorry superbikezx7r

I Need Your Kidney Print

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 01/18/2012

Maybe it was the time period but were more bands printing shirts with the kidney print? My Earth Crisis “Conviction Records” longsleeve has a print in the same area and that was roughly around 1992-ish. Just an odd place to print…ahh the 90s. sharpieadict has this old Shelter shirt that was sold through Revelation in the early 90s. I had this same design in a longsleeve and sold it on Ebay for more than I expected so Im curious to see where this one goes. Love the pre-Equal Vision back print.

Contain, Control, Exterminate

By xCHIPxSEM | Published 12/31/2011

This is one of the few pieces of Earth Crisis merch I don’t own. I have one of the newer ones that were printed when they got back together but never had an original. This is right when everyone stopped printing on Champion jerseys. norefuge must have had this one buried in their closet because it looks like it was never worn. This was printed for the Breed The Killers album and while its not Destroy The Machines, it still have some solid tracks on it. Curious to see what it goes for but its got a nice low starting bid.
